Pc Restarting when playing high demanding games.

[Fizzo]

I really need help. I have recently upgraded to an RTX 3060 Graphics card and I have been experiencing my Pc shutting down and rebooting when playing high demanding games. At first I thought it could be my power supply which was 500w so I upgraded to 850W and the problem still occurred. I have tested my CPU for bottlenecking which is not an issue. My Pc usually reboots when my GPU temp is around the 65-75 Temp mark where I then hear a slight crack in my audio then my Pc restarts. I have also removed old drivers and reinstalled latest which did not fix the issue. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know would be much appreciated. I just don't understand how this is happening having not tampered anything with the new graphics card. Again any help is appreciated thank you in advanced! I will list my specs below to give you all a better understanding of what I am working with.

 

Specs

GPU- RTX 3060 Dual Fans

CPU- AMD Ryzen 5 3600

RAM- 16Gb 3200mhz (2 x 8 sticks)

PSU- Corsair 850W

Motherboard- B450 Pro M2 Max motherboard

1TB HDD

Bios / chipset drivers updated?

 

 

What's in event viewer? 

 

 

Also does this happen every time or only in certain games?

sounds like PSU reset. not that 3060 is that demanding.

I would say that it sounds like a PSU, but you swapped that already.  I would run memtests on your system and GPU to rule those out.  What are your CPU temps before it shuts down on you?

I will give it a check but I have run benchmarks on my cpu and my system does not shut down even when its on 92 degrees

GPU bios are up to date. I havent tried a chipset update though will give it a go. and no it only happens in high demand games. When i play overwatch, valorant, call of duty its fine but when i try and play games like warzone 2 and star wars battlefront it shutsdown even when im on 60 degrees after my undervolt.

hmm, i see , it does kinda sound like psu still, im not really familiar with that corsair e model, but def seems like a high quality unit so im not sure.

and ok updating chipset drivers is definitely important,  if theres a bug in power delivery or something that might fix it
